Baby Carriers

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Poor design, breaks easily

...I can not dispute that Clippasafe have produced a quantity of quality safety goods for young children and babies. But when it comes to these I would strongly avoid them and go for something made with stronger materials, such as leather with metal catches. I can not comment on how these perform when it comes to using these for walking a toddler. All I can say is that a child will tug and pull you into every direction but the one you want to go, so ...

Advantages: Freedom from the Buggy, Very Adjustable
Disadvantages: Hard to try out, Expensive

**************** Littlelife Explorer Child Carrier **************** Child carriers are a nifty little invention which allow you to carry your child around on your back - hopefully in relative comfort. They are very similar to normal backpacks in their variability in cost, size and design. We have always enjoyed walking, usually just long ambles around the English countryside, but occasionally we have tackled mountains as well. We didn't want to ...
...not thank you. **************** Littlelife **************** Littlelife is part of the same company as Lifeventure (who make backpacks, sleeping bags, camping gear and that sort of thing) and Lifesystems (who make first aid kits, mosquito nets and other things to keep you safe when you're off adventuring) so they boast a significant amount of experience in hard wearing materials and carrying technology. They make five different types of baby backpack ... Read review

Advantages: Fits like a glove (or sox !) and stops every bit of glare
Disadvantages: None found !

...my car because of the window shape on a Galaxy (Sharan or Alhambra). For some cars with more angled windows the velcro would be useful. It only cost £23 for a pair. I must have spent that since the children were born on hopeless sun shades. If you have kids, dogs or don't like sun streaming in the car BUY THIS PRODUCT!! My daughters said it was like travelling in a limo !! ... Read review

Advantages: Invaluable if your child is heavy or in plaster casts.
Disadvantages: Needs a little more padding for longer walks!

My 11 month old daughter had an operation on her hips and needed to be in plaster for 6 months. She was very heavy and awkward to carry as her legs were bent in the plaster. Even just to walk from the carpark to the supermarket was uncomfortable on our backs. You just can't take a buggy everywhere! As a moving and handling trainer I have plenty of experience in even weight distribution and posture to prevent back problems, so knew that carrying ...
...for our backs. I came accross the hip seat on the STEPS organisation website where other parents of disabled young children had recommended this item. It was something I had to buy as I knew it could make such a difference to our lives at the time. I was very impressed, it worked a dream for me. It was very comfortable to wear, the pressure was taken off my back and evenly distributed. I even had an arm free!! All she needed was an arm round her ... Read review

I purchased my bush baby carrier last April as we were planning a trip to the western United States and knew we would be doing a lot of walking in places unsuitable for a buggy. I wanted a baby back pack which would be comfortable to wear without putting undue strain on my back (or rather my husband’s back)! And would give my then 15 month old good support. We looked at several models prior to making our purchase namely the mothercare (much cheaper) ...
...near as deep as the bush baby. In addition a friend let us try her bush baby carrier for a weekend and we fell in love with it. I would strongly suggest that if you are considering buying any baby carrier you ask if the shop will allow you to return it if after a few tries you find it uncomfortable. Having decided that we wanted to buy a bush baby premier ACS child carrier (to give it its full name) I checked for the best price and as always got ... Read review
